>> all right. got another clipper headed our way. >> yeah. all the kids are like can we get a whole day off with this? another light dusting but maybe an inch or two up to the north. maybe frederick and northern areas might get a little more. it's not breaking out here in dc yet. we'll show you radar. looks to me like the closest it is along either side of interstate 81. that means when it does roll into the district it will get cold. this will stick to things. so here it is, another clipper come rg and you can see what we're talking about. wider view and as usual, this isn't going to take long to move through the area. i've been looking at the observations in ohio to see what it's been dropping and general one inch was the most common number. a couple places got an inch and a half out of it. we may see the exact same thing around here.

farther south possible as it comes through some of the areas south of dc. might mix with a little rain. not sure you are going to see snow out of this out of the southern portion of the beltway. the clipper bregade does continue. let's talk about this one and what you can expect through the evening. we expect to have light snow. again, fast moving but a small accumulation. it will be a little heavier north and west. in these scenarios, maybe there could be a couple two hour delays toward the hagerstown. a coating to a half inch for most of us. couple places closer into town might get an inch. best chance is north of dc. and long gone by 3:00 in the morning. road crews will be able to get ahead of this one, that's for sure. wanted you to see the advisories. they are widespread through west virginia. heavier snow in the mountains. and most of us don't have a winter weather advisory. not expected to cause problems

for the commute. frederick, into washington county. over into alleganey count aye and extreme northern virginia. so actually just a little west of there. high temperature today, cold enough for snow. 36 at regan and dulles. 35 at bwi. temperatures dropping now. a lot of dry air. the snow has to really saturate the ground before it can breakthrough the dry layer. 32 in gaithersburg. and temperature has dropped to 30 degrees. overnight it will probably be a little cooler than where we are now. upper 20s to 30. cold enough so that snow will stick. and here's what we're thinking in terms of accumulation. notice dc very little if anything. a coating to one inch. and probably

closer to a coating to a half inch. in the brighter blue, that's where we think one maybe two inches could fall. i'll show you future cast. it looks like this is out of here pretty quickly. lingers over the northern counties. and tomorrow night we have one more. it's only going to dip down into northern maryland and move on out. the next one looks like it misses us. your fox 57 day forecast. temperatures rebounding a little out of the 30s and into the 40s. as we look toward the weekend, a couple showers possible friday and maybe showers on monday. and what's this? 50s on the map. did not see his shadow. that means an early spring. >> we hope. >> we hope. >> thank you, sue. today the nation remembers civil right's icon rosa parks. the post office unveiled a forever stamp. and that goes on sale today. a british patient is not a

thing worse than that is neither one of us there. it was still pretty rough. it was tough. toughest moment of all was walking across the field. if you can imagine, you feel an incredible amount of elation with an incredible amount of devastation. and those two feelings went hand in hand. and i'm still feeling it. >> the turning point was when the lights turned off. start of the second half, the super dome power went out. a 34 minute delay. once power returned, the niners stole all the momentum scoring 17 straight points. the ravens did just enough to hang on. dunbar high grad vernon davis put the loss in perspective. >> we have to look at this as a blessing. we didn't have to be here but we made it. and we have next year. we have next season. we might as well look forward to next season and keep our hopes high. and continue to climb. >> so this video just a short

while ago. the ravens touching down at 5:04 p.m. back in baltimore where the victory parade will kick off tomorrow starting at 10:45 a.m. another tough loss by the caps against the penguins. the game got away in the second period. game tied at two. surrendered two goals in a 33 second span. both goals from the same spot just handcuffed a pivotal moment in that game. got away ending in a 6-3 loss. >> it's a mental changer. you know, probably the third one especially. feel like that's well. the ones where if you are going to win games, make some changes. >> tomorrow night the caps back on the ice hosting. and one final college note,
